GkEEIC LOANS. Mr. Bowling has sent the following Letter to th Edi. tor of the Times : "Jeffrey's-square, 6th Nov. 186. " I have been compelled, in my own defence, to accuse Mr. Luriottis of intentional misrepresentiitions, it is because the public Press, with a few most honourable exceptions, has given credence to his unsupported 'state silents, even when ;oiling-id* the conduct and chaiiicters of those Who have hitherto been deemed worthy of general good opinion. Mr. Luriottis has had the advantage of your repeatedly expressed conviction, that be is blaMeless privilege, no doubt, greatly to be envied; but, Sir, it state of excitement in the public mind may be produced by ex-parte and unfair statements, during which the world seems predisposed to lose sight of the evidence which bears against one set of men, whilst that which affcetfs an other is cordially received and willingly exaggerated. - If a mistake has been made, if an error has been committed, public attention is rivetted to the subject—it beComes magnified to a crime, and the solitary fault soon over shadows a thousand honourable exertions and sacrifices.-- A 'time will most assuredly come, in which the present state of opinion on Greek affairs will be wholly changed, by the gradual but necessary developement of facts; the wrong that is Suffered to-day will be repaired to-morrow, stud those who have been condemned, as well as those who 'have been acquitted, may yet see a reversal of their cm- tence. " On the subject of the 7,5001. allowed to the Deputies by Messrs. Ricardo, and in which Mr. Luriottis declares 'he would never participate,' but insisted that it should go to the credit of the Government,' cannot but' state, that there 'is an entry in Messrs. Ricardo's account, ,tinder the *date of Sept. 1825, in which that Wm is passed to the credit of the Greek Government. Messrs. Ricardo's account was furnished• to the Deputies in Jan. 23, 1820. —The Deputies sent their account of Ricardo's Loan to their Government on the 30th of April, 1826, but they have omitted to credit the said sum of 7,500/. This tsmount was withdrawn from Messrs. Brothers, on the 3d Dee. 1825 by order' of the Deputies, and it fol. tows in Mesa s accounts, an entry dated Novem ber 30, 1825, of 4,8001. also by your order.' On which would beg to remark, that this said 4,8001. is passed to the debit of the Greek Government by the Deputies, as having been paid on Mc 21st Feb, 1825—' to Mr. Bonfil, • the Broker, for negociating the Loan.' This is wholly in, • consistent with Mr. Luriottis' assertion; still less can Messrs. Ralli's entry be made compatible with Mr. Luri ottis' statement to the Committee, that this money was paid to Mr. Bonlil for operating on the Loan of 1824, previous to coofracting for that of 1825,, In answer 'to Mr. Luriottis' fourth Letter, I meant no reproach to him by saying that he arrived in this country pennylest ; the notorious fact of his being without pecu niary resources, was, I supposed, some answer to the statement of his being a creditor on the Greek Govern ment for 3000/. What he means by speaking of leis horse at Leghorn I know not, unless he wishes to convey. the impression that he is, or was, a partner in the house of Mospigootti. If so, the fact has not, to my knowledge, been announced to he world till now. " Mr. Luriottis states thaol mistrusted his assertion ;' that he had remitted 4,000/. to Mr. Eynard. Ile is mis taken. I knew the fact to be as he stated it. What I doubted. was, hit assertion that the Greek Government owed him ',more than 3,000/..,' and - I think I have given some evidence that my doubts were reasonable. " I think 1 have already shown the statements in your Paper of the 28th ultimo are incorrect, notwithstanding the - • ...sanction given to them by Mr. L. I have, at all events, • disposed of the accusation, that I . ttpplied for a return of the stock when it was at a premium; for it is proved applied when it was at a heavy discount, It is equally un true that the Deputies refused to return the stock, and that they gave me 2,5001. instead; and there is no foun dation for the charge that. I was not satisfied with losing nothing.' since I lost 1;400/. by the transaction. " 1 answer the charge of my having been bribed to withhold from bearing' the Loan of 1825, by stating, that . • I held of that Loan 20,000/., of which I bought 10,0004 at 2 per cent. premium, and 10,0001, which I bought at premium. If there, be any man who has had throughout a deep interest in supporting the credit of the Greek 1.405101 i I am that man. " In conclusion, I must say—and .that consolation will remain to me--that the Greek Government has lost nothing through my instrumentality. If, when I. thought the Deputies were wrong, I had been silent, and had failed to give those honest, opinions which were.unpalatable to them, I might at this moment have possessed their con fideuee,.and have been spared the pain of thus endeavour ing publicly to defend myself. For nearly four years of my life—in season and out of season—by night and by day—in many countriesand at much expence, I have laboured in the cause of Greece. " : 11 The cause of Greece' is become popular; and that part of the English press which loaded the early efforts of Grecian patriotism with ridicule and opprobrium, can now talk of sympathizing with the Greeks ; because, through the Greeks, they fancy they are able to. wound political opponents. A dextrous intrigue has misdirected public attention from the Greek cause, to individual - hostilities. It cannot be possible that the management of the first Loan, from which, out .of 480,000/, raised at 59 per cent., nearly 400,00 W. went to the Greeks, should long wholly distract inquiry, front the wasteful dissipation of more than a million sterling, produced by the second Loan ? Let the same severe scrutiny, which has been applied to Mr. Mute, Mr, Ellice, and myself, proceed in its investiga tions—but let those investigations be impartial, and public opinion will not be long misled. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " JOHN HOWIUNG." The following letter from Mr. Ellice appears in an Evening Paper " Sir—Since my contradiction of the statements in. The Times of the 28th ult., a letter has appeared from Mr; Lu riottis, not containing, it is true, any direct charge against me, but an evident insinuation, that the port I took, and the advice I gave the Deputies on the occasion of the last loan, Wag from interested motives. . " The ease stands thus :—lst. I am accused of having received 14,000/. of Messrs. Ricardo's commission; and then, to give an appearance of plausibility to this idle falsehood, Mr. Luriottio alleges my extreme anxiety to in duce his colleague and 'I h mielf to conclude the contract with Messrs. Ricardo sending a messenger to hir e t t. l ridiculous nonsense about my night, and paying him a visit at a most unusual bou guy to premise, is pure and the morning, it to ?leech ,e)eabsolute fiction. The truth is, i ;air anxious the should take', ad vantage of the favourable eilt i t i .t s u lt i t t r s u e ta s uces of the mo ment to carry into effect the was despatched to Paris t atolls of their Go-, vernment ; Mr. Luriottis and during hit alto 'Nee what could be done there, acme, his colleagues, on a previous understanding with _him that they should conclude a contract if possible here, made the arrangement with Mr. Ricardo. In the meantime Mr. Liirinttis had engaged in a provisional one at Peri*, at the ostensible price of 59—but if I remember rightly the details, on much worse terms, when the commission and other deductions .were considered, than in that w i t h Meows, Riardo. But Mr. Luriottis might also h ave added, that my opinion and wish was, the loan should, if possible, have been divided between Paris and Loudon, although Mr. Ricer& objected to it, and his objections Were eonelusive. I had no hesitation in advising the Dc. t_tt:iits rather to cancel the provisional arrang ements in Fratlee, than to run the risk of Messrs. Ricardo throwing up the contract here. It is true I was very desirous that Commissioners should be named to superintend the appli . estion of the mousy. It is no enviable office for any per son to undertake,but ileonimissionershad been appointed,no :hotly," presiime,willnow donbt that patt of the money would have passed as safely through -. their. binds as - through those of these worthy Deputies. I itnew nothing a(the allowance made out of the commission to these gentlemen: some time after the contract for the loan, and I aye'. 1,"• SI A P• ded all conversation or discussion with them on the sub ject. I know not, therefore, what credit, is due to ottis for his claim of singular disinterestedness—but I would advise the public to suspend their judgment on this subject till they have some information respecting it front his col.; leagues. If he be not more correct on this point than on some others, implicit reliance is not to be placed on his testimony, and it should always be recollected that he has now the field to himself. Mr. Orlando is on his way to Greece, and Mr. Zaimis is at Napoli l but before the con tradiction or explanation of their colleague's statement can be I eeeived, Mr. Luriottis knows perfectly well the public' attention and excitement on these subjects will have pas sed by. " I have ii* retiiVed from town the particulars of the whey received for this steam.vessel, and I was certain I had given directions that none should be 'taken till it was required for actual payments, or immediate engagements. The fact is, although the money was certainly placed at my immediate disposal, it was only taken in this manner, and there was never a balance of 2,000/. • in the hands of the persons to whom the management of this part of the business was confided. Mr. Luriottis knows as well us I do, the causes of the delay in the outfit of this vessel, although it does not suit his purpose to state them. None of them are imputable to myself, or to Captain Hastings, who had the superintendence of her construction, and was most zealous and assiduous. Mr. Galloway was at first alone to blame; and when the larger expedition of this class of vessels was decided upon, it was considered useless, and he represented that it would interfere with his prepa rations, for the greater object, to press him to devote all his attention to the completion of this one boat, which it was not then intended to tend out alone. " I have thus, Sir, once for all, broken through the si !ewe I had prescribed to myself on this subject; and nothing shall again induce me to offer further explanation, or to embark in a newspaper war with Mr. Lur►ottis, or some of the other worthy disputants. " I remain, Sir, your humble servant, " Snettisbam, Nov. 4. " EDWARD ELLICE." SlR—Having observed paragraphs in various news papers, throwing blame on Sir F. Burdett, Mr. Hobhouse, Mr. Ellice, and Mr. Ricardo, some of which impute those aspersions to me, you will confer on me a favour, and do an act of justice, ►f you will assure the public (as I have done those gentlemen), that to blatue them, as regards Greek affairs, never entered into my mind. If the en gineer has failed to execute his task, he alone, in my opinion, is answerable. As to myself, it appeared to me, at the time, that I could not personally watch over the progress of the works in hand, owing to the unfortunate proclamation. I have to regret that I did'not then see that proclamation in the light which I now do. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Marseilles, Oct. 30. (Signed) COCHRANE. SURREY. ANCIENT HIGHWAYS AND FOOTPATHS. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE.COUNTY HERALD. Sir,—The periodical press has for some time past Called the at tention of the public to the Parliamentary proceedings, which every Session confer enlarged powers on justices of the peace, without that jealous observation which ought always to be made respect ing such innovations on the ancient common law ; and there can be none of these more worthy of the public notice than the recent Acts, empowering Justices to divert and stop up highways and. footpaths. 1, therefore, trust you will allow me the use of your columns for some remarks on the evils to which the public, and especially the dense and increasing populations of some of our towns, are becoming every day more and more exposed by the pro.. visions of the Acts referred to. It would seem that. the wise pre• cautions of our forefathers, against encroachments on ancient public rights of this description, are now entirely lost sight of : for, the only method of stopping up or diverting a public way, in their days, was to procure the issue, from Chancery, of a WA= writ, called the " writ of rtel (rud elanonum," directing the Sheriff to summon a Jury to inquire, through them, whether the change of the public way in question, would he prejudicial to the public or not. If this inquisition found that the measure would be detri mental to the public, it could 'be prosecuted no further; and, even if the Jury returned that it would not be prejudicial to the public, the Legislature, previous to the reign of William and Mary, considered the proceedings of so much importance, that any person aggrieved could traverse and appeal against the inquisition before the Chancellor himself. In that reign, however, the appeal against the finding of - the Jury was directed to be made to the Quarter Sessions, instead of the Court of Chancery. But the great innovations on the admirable simplicity and safeguards of our common law, in this respect, have been made since the com mencement of the reign of Geo. 111., as the Magistrates were, for the first time in 1773 empowered, at their Special Sessions, to di vert public ways, " so as to make them nearer and more com modious to the public;' and if the alteration of the old law had stopped here, and the spirit. of that Act bad been observed, no objection could, perhaps, be offered to Justices having this power; but it seems that the necessity of making the new way " nearer and more commodious to the public," was found to be a great clog on the exercise of their will, and therefore in the•latter end of the late reign an Act was passed, which tramples down every protection the - public before had against the discretion of the Ma gistracy; for, although such Act speciously enough recites " that it is expedient more public notice should be given of any Order of Justices for diverting or stopping up a public way, and that a greater facility of appeal to the Quarter Sessions should bo given to an aggrieved party," it proceeds to give the extraordi nary power to any two or more Justices of the Peace to stop up " unnecessary" highways, entirely omitting the necessity Of the alteration being " more commodious to the public." The Justices are now, therefore, the only judges, whether a foot-path through their own !ail& be necessary to the public or not; and it will be seen by this short history of the law relating to public ways, how gradually the interposition of a Jury (that grand bulwark of English rights, so favoured by our ancestors!) has been taken away from the subject of these Acts of Parliament. The manner in which the discretion of Magistrates in respect to public ways is used, may be judged of by the every day occurrence of country papers containing notices of the Orders of Justices for stopping up and diverting public ways ; and I am sure it is not going beyond the truth, when I state, that in numerous instances a Magistrate is the only interested party, inasmuch as the improvement of his estate is the principal . object in view, and the measure is ef fecte4l without the least regard to the convenience of the public. The lamentable consequences of this new system of legislation are ably pointed out by the Morning Chronicle of the 18th instant, and it appears from such paper, that some individuals in the Northern counties have set themselves to work to provide a check against the evils; for at York, a Society is actually formed, en titled " An Association for the protection of Foot Paths in the Vicinity of York," and a similar institution is now forming at Manchester. Now, as a great ' number of highways and foot paths have been lately stopped up in the county of Surrey (con taining, it should be observed, a large and increasing population on the side of the metropolis), which have in a very material de gree deprived the retired tradesman of his rural walk, so conducive to his health and comfort, and, to use the language of a late number of the Manchester Herald, " have driven the poor man from the innocent enjoyment of the fields into dusty and miry Tunes, which may ultimately drive him from the field to the ale• house, and his family from happiness to misery ;" and adding to thCse considerations, that of the great expense which an ag grieved person must incur, if he appeals single-handed to the Quaiter Sessions, I think it is time an Association should be reviled for the protection of our foot-paths and public ways;' and, froM the spontaneous public feeling which was manifested against an attempt being lately made to stop up a useful foot - path in the neighbourhood of Ouildford, by means of whi ch p ublic spirit the attempt was frustrated, no fear need.be entertained that such an Institution would receive a support corresponding to its use "nem ; and, as a subscription of 2s. 6d. from each member, has been found sufficient to answer the u rposes of the York Asso -646011, I hope some influential resident of Surrey will, before "Y mere infringements of this kind are made on the public riilbts, interest himself in forming, a County Association upon the sans Principle.

LIVERPOOL, NOVEMBER 1, 1926. (”011 MIS OWN CORKEsPONIANT.) MORE RESURRECTIONISTS.—The trial and sen tence of James Donaldson do not seem to have made any impression on the minds of the Liverpool ResurrectionistsEat least in deterring them from their unlawful pursuits. Another circumstance has been dis covered, though not on so extensive a scale as Donald son's, that equally shows the inventive minds of this class of people. On Saturday night, between nine and ten, a man rather tall, wearing a black coat and yellow waistcoat,- brought a box covered with canvas, and directed " Captain Woodsdale, Royal Marines, Mitchell's Lodgings, 12, Castle-street, Edinburgh," to the White Horse Coach-office, Dale-street ; he had the box booked to go by the coach next morning, and went off. After he was gone the clerk in the office examined the box, and perceiving that it smelt very unpleasant, determined upon opening it, which he did, and to his astonishment found it to contain a dead human body ; he immediately gave notice at the Police office, and Gaskell, a constable, came and conveyed it to the dead house in Chapel-street. Mr. T. W. Davies, surgeon, examined the body at the dead house ; it was that of a young woman, the head had been shaved, and from the general appearance he had reason to believe she died of fever in a natural way, and had been disinterred. The person who brought the box to the Coach-office has as yet escaped detection. The box was four feet long by fifteen niches in width, so that the body had, been bent together before it could be got in. THE COUNTY FIRE OFFICE AND COM- MISSIONERS OF REVENUE INQUIRY. Seventeen months had elapsed after the first publi cation of a vague charge against the County Fire Office, with defrauding the Stamp-office in the amount of duty, before the directors could learn what the precise nature of the accusation was, and who was their accuser ; the printing of the evidence at length put them in posses sion of these facts, when the Directors met, and order ed their books to be carefully examined, and legal pro ceedings to be instituted. The result of the examina tion is subjoined, and appears to be conclusive on the merits of this extraordinary accusation. EXTRACT. " Referred to the accountant and auditors to consider the alle gations in Mr. Godfrey Sykes's evidence, dated July let, 1825, and contained in the appendix to the 14th Report of the Commis sioners of Revenue Inquiry, and particularly to examine the books of the office, with a view to ascertain the truth or otherwise of the information brought by Mr. Spike, the solicitor of the Beacon Of fice, that whenever county collectors failed, Mr. Barber Beau mont ordered lists to be made out ► and claims to be made for re turns of duty to the amount to which the agent had failed, and that this had been regularly done in the County Fire Office, and has been well known to the amount of about 2,0001. a-year con stantly."

THE GHOST OF MILTIADES. Ah (moles dublus Scriptis exsrelt senator The Ghost of Miltiades came At night, And he stood by the bed of the Benthamite, And he said, in a voice that thrill'd the fame, " If ever the sound of Marathon's name " Hath fired thy blood or flush's' thy brow, " Lover of Liberty, rouse thee now !" The Benthamite, yawning, left his bed— Away to the Stock Exchange he sped, And he found the Scrip'of Greece so high, That it fired his blood, it flush'd his eye, And oh, 'twas a sight for the Ghost to ace, For there never was Greek more Greek than he ! And still, as the premium higher went, His ecatacy rose—so much per cent. (As we see in a glass, that tells the weather, The heat and the silver rise together), And Liberty sung from the patriot's lip, While a voice from his pocket wbisper'd " Scrip!" The Ghost of Miltiades came again ; He 'mini, as the pale moon smile* through rain, For his soul was glad at that patriot strain ; (And poor, dear ghost—how little be knew The jobs and tricks of the Philhellene crew !) " Blessings and thanks !" was all he said, Then, melting away, like a night-dream, fled ! The Benthamite hears—arnaz'd that ghosts, Could he such fools —and away he posts, A patriot still? Ah no, ah no—. Goddess of Freedom, thy - Scrip is low, And, warm and fond aa,thy lovers are, Thou triest their passion,. when under par. - The Benthamite's ardour fast decays, By turns he weeps, and swears and prays, And wishes the d—l hall Crescent and Cross, Ere* had been forest to sell at a loss.

We subjoin a few extracts, by which it will be seen that a new steam-boat, the Duke of York, of 760 tons, from London to Hamburgh, had been in a situation of great danger, from the terrific effects of a heavy sea, from which it was rescued by a merchant brig. liamatmon, Nov. 3.—lt was not till this morning that the (quite new) steam-boat the Duke of York, of '760 tons, arrived in our harbour. It left London on Sunday, and in the violent storm, its rudder and mast were broken by a heavy sea on Mon day morning. In this situation it drifted at the mercy of the waves till Tuesday morning, when fortunately the Maria, coming from Malaga, appeared in sight. By an agreement with the Captain, she was taken in tow by the steam-boat, and which on the other hand, was directed in the course it was to steer by the Maria. On Wednesday, having arrived off Heligoland, it was proposed to replace the lost rudder, but this was not possible, partly ou account of the high sea, and partly on account of the want of materials. It was therefore resolved to centinue the voyage in the same manner to the Elbe, into which the two yea sels entered yesterday afternoon. The steam-boat had 310 chests of indigo on board, and as it must unload and repair, it will not depart to-morrow morning, but on some other day not yet fixed. SwrTzsaLAxn, OcT. 23.—Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg has visited his sister, the Grand Duchess Anne, in the Elftnau, near Berne, and on the 15th set out to return to England. The Jesuits are spreading in Switzerland. At the entrance of the city of Freiburg, a large and magnificent edifice is building for the Jesuits and their pupils, from Switzerland and other countries. When it is finished it will contain 1,000 pupils, and is said to have already cost 300,000 francs.: This was raised by means of shares, which the Jesuits intend to pay with the profits of their establishment ; and there are at present eighteen Jesuit, at Frei burg, who act as teachers, have the title of 'professore, and are paid as such. They have at present thirty private pupils among them, and endeavour as much as possible to get rich young men, or the sons of powerful families. In some parts of Wormland, the peasants are in such distress that they mix powdered bark of trees with their flour. EXCHANGES. : 7 o m i o . nths, 86. 10.

The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday, had lot reached town when our Paper went to press this afternoon. We understand, that in consequence of the family affliction which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER is suffering under, he will not appear in Parlia ment before Christmas. The financial expose which the Right Hon. Gentleman usually makes in an early stage of the Sessions will therefore be unavoidably postponed till the meeting of the House after the Christmas Holidays. Indeed this will obviously be a more convenient arrangement than if it were entered upon at once, as all the Finance Accounts are made up to the sth of January, and consequently it. would 'not be possible, previously to that time, to lay before the House so . complete a statement of the Financial de partment of the country as subsequently thereto. It has on more occasions than one fallen to our lot to represent some of the evils resulting from the pre sent Licensing System ; and if we have of late refrained, it has been from no change of sentiments, but from an idea that the system was so avowedly and so noto riously bad, that no man in his senses could sit , down to argue in support of it. In this conclusion, how ever, we have been greatly mistaken, for we now see attempts are making to bolster up the system, and so to support the odious and destructive monopoly that has grown out of it. •. • Whether this attempt to uphold a system, so oil in. its operation, springs from the brewers, or from any other body of men, is all the game to us ; our hoitility is directed against the system , and not a g ainst the men supporting it ; and ,bei n g thns inde p endent, we mean to wage uncomprOising warfare with it. W e never could P P of public policy . roc p , er r e : i a :l i i e l o t i o i n ld be made to depend upon the But even admitting that what rinci le (for justice is out of the question) the Value of a man's refusing a licence could with private property, Mag o i r strate s h o W how justice and equity are supported by propriety be lodged in a Magistrate, it would he, dif, capricioustieses of a the powe r the power he has of subsequently withdrawing that licence without a cause shown, and even without no tice.. A licence once granted ought to be perpetual, unless the individual exercising the powers given should. ficult to abuse them, or misconduct himself; in this event it would be right to. withdraw the licence, but even then the power of withdrawing it ought not to be in the breast of any set of Magistrates whatever; but after legal trial and condemnation by the verdict of twelve good and lawful. men. Every body at all acquainted with the constitution of the Quarter Sessions, must be aware how constantly it is agitated by hidden motives, self-interest, the support of a favourite opinion; a pre conceived prejudice, an unalterable conviction in the truth of a certain set of notions ; nay, even the bare conception that the applicant bears a bad character, alternately sways 'and governs this redoubtable knot of Magistrates, who, in reference to the licensing system, exercise the unbounded powers entrusted to them, without rule, and unchecked by the presence of the public, or the reports of their proceedings by the prem. In such an assembly what chance hasthe unfortunate publican ? he embarks his property in a business over which he has but little controul, for conduefhimself how he will, occasional disturbances must unavoidably arise, and with the feelings of a man about him, and these excited by taunts, by abuse, by all the multitude of annoyances that his customers fail not to employ, at h, and take no part in si gh as how is it to be expected that he can check t h e ebul ' litions of his wr affray ? It is, we think, beyond the power &huß n ma nature, and we are sure it is not in a ritoil to withhold. Yet, mark the consequences. The tale is borne to the officious magistrate, the never; failing attendant on the Sessions. It is exaggerate" into a serious riot, and the circumstance that the landlord joined, is dwelt upon with malicious eon. stancy, with hypocritical lamentations that a num hi therto so respectable, should so demean hirnself—soine regret that it fell to his lot to remark duty, &c. &c. compelled. 'The licence is withheld-- the man is ruined. • All this is the effect of the present licensing systou! which places in the hands of' interested men, pow,,ers‘ which are almost too great to be entrusted to 3 ,li e '' of the land.
